CNN mistakes flag displaying sex toys at gay Pride parade for ISIS flag

[derpkitteh]

that's the stupidest thing anyone could do. i mean, if you want to make a flag like that, make it with a little event to mock ISIS. doing it like this has a chance of getting you in some serious shit.

Not really.

Only if the original had a passage of the quran on it probably.
I don't know has it?

you honestly think the average american is gonna know what that chicken scratch spells? they're just gonna see the squiggles and think it's legit. i think the dildo flag looks legit too. you walk down the road with that shit here, you'd have cops on you, or have your ass beaten by some hero, in a matter of moments.

Why would gay men have extensive knowledge of sex toys?

The person with the flag is a retard, judging from that photo you can't tell the difference unless you are up close.

Pretty sure sex toys are not exclusive to a gender or sexuality.

It says there is one god and mohammed is his prophet it seems and yes quran the islamic world might hate ISIs too much to care on the other hand.

it showed sex toys, including butt plugs, dildos and other adult toys.

The 5 year old in me had to chuckle at this. But seriously I watched this at 9am after 2 hours sleep and I think it's an easy mistake to make at a passing glance and that you need closer inspection to see what the flag really had on it

Lets just hope CNN doesn't go to Norway, Confederate flags everywhere...

What is a joke are the people that think this is clever, cute or otherwise a good idea.

[Pull My Finger]

It does look like an ISIS flag. Probaby on purpose too. I'm not well enough versed in the variety of the butt plug market, so you'll have to forgive me.

There is no way this wasn't an international mockery, hilarious though!

i guess i kind of see it, but i've never been one for "change X, move Y, illuminati confirmed" style moving things around to look like other things.

Sure.

I think the joke being made by the poster was that CNN are so bad at recognising flags (the topic of the thread) they would mistake Norway's for the Confederate one.

Still makes it silly to state that this confusion could have been avoided if a gay man was in the news studio. Thinking that every gay man is a sex toy expert is ridiculous.

It was a stupid flag that upon first inspection screams ISIS, unless your told "they're meant to resemble sex toys" you wouldn't think that. No, it was a terrible joke that backfired

Yet people are defending them because well reasons.
